[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 , this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an edge control system for distributed energy storage on the substation area side, including

[0032] a control module, a real-time monitoring module, a data management module, a load management module, and a communication and protocol conversion module;

[0033] The control module includes bus voltage control and power coordination control. It acquires the bus voltage of the distribution substation area and a preset allowable voltage range. When the voltage exceeds this range, it adjusts and dispenses the reactive power output of the energy storage to restore the voltage to the normal range; it monitors the active power output of the grid connection point and the energy storage, and adjusts and dispenses the active power output of the energy storage according to the current control strategy.

[0034] The real-time monitoring module can collect all monitored operating parameters and states for real-time and timed data, and process and store important historical data in the database.

[0035] Further, the collected data includes common information such as the total voltage, current, average temperature, SOC, SOH, charge and discharge current limits, single-cell maximum and minimum battery voltages, single-cell maximum and minimum battery temperatures, fault and alarm information, historical charge and discharge power, and historical charge and discharge energy of each group of batteries in the BMS system. The relevant parameters of the PCS include the voltage / current / power of each branch on the DC side, the active power, reactive power, voltage, current, power factor, frequency and temperature of each phase on the AC side, cabinet temperature, operating status, alarm and fault information, etc., as well as the daily charge, daily discharge, cumulative charge, and cumulative discharge.

[0036] The data management module is used to support the configuration and display functions of various information such as SOE information, change information, overlimit information, abnormal information, alarm events, protection events, and maintenance information.

[0037] Further, real-time alarm data and historical alarm data can be displayed. Alarms and events can be classified according to types, and the priorities of alarms and events can be set, as well as determining whether an event requires an alarm. Alarms and events can be retrieved according to various retrieval conditions such as device, time, event level, and event type.

[0038] The load management module is used to classify and manage the load according to factors such as the user's requirements for power supply reliability and the losses or impacts caused by power interruption to personal safety, the operation safety of the distribution substation area, and the economy.

[0039] Further, according to the load classification, load switching strategies and plans for different operating conditions of the distribution substation area are formulated in advance; in the off-grid state, power-limiting strategies can be implemented for each load terminal respectively, including control rounds, control time periods, power setting values, and power quantity setting values.

[0040] The communication and protocol conversion module includes 4 Ethernet ports supporting IEC 61850 / IEC

[0041] 60870-5-101 / IEC 60870-5-103 / IEC 60870-5-104, 8 integrated serial ports (232 / 485), 2 CAN interfaces, 2 input channels, and 2 output channels.

[0042] Further, protocol conversion is realized and sent according to the protocols specified by the monitoring (CDT, 101, 104, DNP).

[0043] Furthermore, this embodiment also provides an edge control method for distributed energy storage on the substation area side. Among them, the edge control for distributed energy storage on the substation area side is divided into local control and remote control:

[0044] When operating in the "local control" state, the local charge and discharge curve is executed according to the local set values. When operating in the "remote control" state, power scheduling instructions from the cloud management system are received. The specific steps are as follows:

[0045] a) Voltage over-limit governance in the substation area. Set the upper voltage limit value Uhigh, the lower voltage limit value Ulow, the upper SOC limit value SOCMax, the lower SOC limit value SOCMin, and the active charging SOC set value SOCcharge.

[0046] Furthermore, the substation area voltage U0 is monitored in real time. If U0 and SOC do not meet the conditions, the current energy storage operates in the substation area voltage over-limit governance working mode.

[0047] Specific settings: When U0 > Uhigh & SOC < SOCMax, the energy storage starts charging; when U0 < Ulow & SOC > SOCMin, the energy storage starts discharging; when U0 < Uhigh & U0 > Ulow, the real-time charging power of the energy storage is obtained according to the battery allowable charging power and the maximum energy storage charging power.

[0048] b) Prevent reverse power flow of photovoltaic power. Set the minimum power for grid connection Pmin, the maximum charging power of the energy storage PcMax, the maximum discharging power of the energy storage PdMax, and the active discharging SOC set value SOCdisC.

[0049] Furthermore, the power P0 at the grid connection point of the substation area is monitored in real time. When P0 < Pmin & SOC < SOCMax, the energy storage starts charging; when P0 > Pmin & SOC > SOCdisC and within the set fixed time period (the purpose is to allow the energy storage to discharge during a suitable time period such as the evening peak), the energy storage starts discharging.

[0050] c) Peak shaving and valley filling. Define the following time period set values: start time period, end time period, time period charge and discharge selection, time period charge and discharge power. There are a total of 6 time periods, which can be used for charge and discharge settings for each time period respectively.

[0051] d) Demand management. When charge and discharge operations are performed, the current energy storage in the substation area operates in the demand control working mode.

[0052] e) Instructions issued by the cloud. Turn on "remote control", and the distributed energy storage in adjacent substations is coordinated and controlled to achieve functions such as improving the power supply quality of the substation area, preventing reverse power flow of distributed photovoltaic power generation in the substation area, and smoothing the load curve through peak shaving and valley filling on the user side.

[0053] This embodiment also provides a computer device, which is applicable to the scenario of the edge control method for distributed energy storage on the substation side, including a memory and a processor; the memory is used to store computer-executable instructions, and the processor is used to execute the computer-executable instructions to implement the edge control method for distributed energy storage on the substation side as proposed in the above embodiment.

[0054] The computer device can be a terminal, and the computer device includes a processor, a memory, a communication interface, a display screen, and an input device connected through a system bus. Among them, the processor of the computer device is used to provide computing and control capabilities. The memory of the computer device includes a non-volatile storage medium and an internal memory. The non-volatile storage medium stores an operating system and a computer program.
